Vintage Drum Guide

David Anfuso’s Vintage Drum Guide is primarily focused on Slingerland, Rogers, Ludwig, Gretsch, and other major American manufacturers of drum kits. The site features scores of archived catalog pages (some date to 1905), information on finishes and mounts, photographs of drum badges, and special features on topics such as Slingerland Radio Kings and drummers like Gene Krupa. Don’t miss the page on percussion sound effects, where you can listen to everything from galloping horse hooves to a chugging steam locomotive.
